SUPPORTING DEVICE.

Application led July 3,

My invention relates to supporting devices and refers particularly todevices of this character capable of being formed from a single blankand adapted to support commodities of an elongated form.

The object of my invention is supporting device for certain classes ofcommodities, especially those having elongated members such as sticks,and which is capable of being formed from a single blank requiring onlyone glued port-ion, thus allowing economy in production advantageouspacking facilities and ease of formation into theiinished device.

Another object ot my invention is a device ot the character described inwhich the commodity is supported by two. members, both ot which arespaced from the surface upon which the device rests, thus allowing of alirm support for the commodity.

The above, and other advantageous properties of my device will beevident upon a consideration of this specification and the accompanyingdrawings.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating one form of the device of myinvention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of the device of myinvention.

Figure 2 is a cross-section through the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is the blank employed in the production of the device shown inFigure 1.

The particular form of the device ot my invention shown in theaccompanying drawings is illustrated in the blank form in Figure 3 whichcomprises the top 10, 11, the bottom 12, 13 and the side 14 scored atthe lines A-A, B-B, C-C and D-D. There is a plurality of holes 14, 14,14along the score line A-A.

The top member 10 is extended into the end flap 15 having the angularslot 16 and into the end flap 17 having the angular slot 18, and has thescore lines A-E and A--F.

The top member 11 is extended into the end flap 19 having the hook catch20 and 1926. Serial No. 120,413.

into the end Hap 21 having the hook catch 22. There is a plurality ofholes 23, 23, 23 along thev line C'-C, in alignment with the holes 14,14, 14 when the device is in folded position.

The blank is folded along thescore lines into the position shown inFigure 2 and the member 14- is glued at 24 to the lower, inner face ofthe top member 10.

The bottom members are directed upwardly forming an upwardly directedangular construction, and the hooks 20 and 22 are inserted within theslots 16 and 18 respectively.

The device, when thus constructed, will support a plurality of lollypops25, 25 when a stick 26 of each is inserted through the two series ofholes 14, 14 and 23, 23.

1t isto be noted that by upwardly inclining the bottom, the top members10 and 1l and the bottom members 12 and 13 irmly v support thelollypops, which cannot be accompli-shed by a device in which thebottomis in abutment with the surface upon which the device rests. Y

l/Vhile the device is shown as a support for lollypops, it is evidentthat it can be employed with other commodities capable of insertionthrough the two series of holes.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number orarrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simply asa means for clearly describing my invention.

1. In a. supporting device capable of being 'formed from a simple blank,in combination, an upwardly directed angular top having a plurality ofholes in the angular edge thereof, an upwardly extended angular bottomhaving a plurality of holes therein in alignment with the top holes andend members carried by the top members locking the top member and thebottom member in fixed position.

2. In a supporting device capable of being formed from a simple blank,in combination, two top members n upwardly directed anmembers locked toeach other to hold the top members land the bottom members 1n fixedposition.

Signed at New York city in the county of New York and State ot' New Yorkthis 29th day of June, 1926.
